Make the music you love
Throughout the course you will be encouraged and supported to write your own music as a priority. Our instructors’ tastes and experience are varied, so they are able to support in a number of genres from EDM to singer/songwriter.

Entry Criteria
Garnish Music London does not have formal entry criteria. We understand that people begin their musical journeys in different ways and we want to support that.
However, in order to ensure that our students get the most from their course, they should be able to demonstrate at least two of the following…
- Beginner or higher skills in music production.
- Beginner or higher understanding of music theory.
- Proficiency in at least one musical instrument.
In order to participate in the course, we would expect you to have a basic idea of music production. If you’ve played around with a DAW, you’ll know enough; if you’re an instrumentalist, that’s also sufficient – we’re here to teach you the rest. As part of the application process, we will conduct an interview with you to determine that you’re a good fit and on the same page as your fellow learners!
